▶ 52:07 Speaker 3: superintendent to speak to this okay thank you mr. Selms so as you know DPW

▶ 52:18 Speaker 3: has taken over our rental management and our two city solicitors and mr. Schenner and I and miss Farrell felt that we needed to tighten the rental

▶ 52:31 Speaker 3: application as it was being managed out of his office so that it was clearer and we knew exactly what was expected from rent rentease renters renters thank you so this is what came out of several meetings with many people involved I I think probably the most important thing for you to understand is we're

▶ 52:58 Speaker 3: going to at the auditorium we're going to create a policy almost like leasing a car here's your checklist before you lease we go through we go through everything when you're finished we go through again so that we can have a better idea of what kind of damages are maybe being incurred other than that it's pretty straightforward um both mr van campen has advised me that the liabilities limits are appropriate he checked with our insurance agent and other than that it's pretty standard it is a non-refundable deposit at time of application and a security deposit is probably the newest thing because again we need to make sure that if we incur damages we have a way to to pay for repairs.

▶ 53:55 Speaker 2: Great, at this time I would entertain a motion. Second. Motion made by Ms. Driscoll, seconded by Ms. McAllister-Grand. Discussion? Ms. Castelli, first.

▶ 54:14 Speaker 3: Reviewing this, are rates the same or have they gone up? The rates are the same. What has gone up is the custodial fee because it went up in their contract. we did not adjust rates at this point in time how much of us increases the

▶ 54:34 Christine Casatelli: custodial fee by dollars it went up from 440 to 45 and there is there is a tier right in terms of what the payments are okay do are those others on the websites people see them or yes okay all right thank you miss McAllister grand thank

▶ 54:53 Speaker 1: you I think this agreement looks very thorough and I had some minor suggestions just with regard to like clarity and grammar which I've sent to

▶ 55:06 Speaker 2: the here I will pass them along yeah they didn't in no way impact the intent

▶ 55:14 Speaker 1: or the content of the agreement so I won't walk through all of them with you

▶ 55:17 Speaker 3: even though I'm sure that would be thrilled thank you for doing that mr.

▶ 55:23 Speaker 4: O'Connell. Thank you, Madam Chair. A request and a comment, and this is a reiteration of a prior request. When we're getting documents that have been changed from year to year, if it is at all possible for us to get a revision history or some, you know, the old document and the current document, preferably a revision history so we don't have to go through these. If we're taking this seriously we're going through this line by line to see what's been changed and while it may sometimes seem that we get paid by the hour here we actually don't so it would be great to get some ability to track the edits that said this is clearly a cleaner more comprehensive document I'm happy to see the language about the event monitors and the use of technology and AV equipment and I would also note and indicate support for the new language regarding payment terms including the security deposit and the contract deposit so I think that all looks great thank you for that any further comment

▶ 56:36 Speaker 2: all right all those in favor of passing this with modification from miss

▶ 56:46 Speaker 2: McAllister grand motion passes unanimously this concludes finance and
